 Can you believe this little bundle is 10 MONTHS!! Seriously these last 6 months have FLOWN by....and i realize she is not a baby anymore..tear! She is so so fun right now but I think I say that every month..haha She is very mobile right now and gets into EVERYTHING! She knows exactly what not to put in her mouth because right before she does she looks at me and then she will hurry and put it in her mouth...she is the smartest thing ever! Probably smarter than me but that doesnt take alot..lol  She pulls her self up and walks around furniture and she even has stood by herself for like 3 secs when she realized know one was holdin her then she would fall down.. She will be walkin before we know it.. She is constantly makin Jake and I laugh everyday and we just cant get enough of her.. she still is sucha  good eater and doesn't dislike any food..knock on wood..  She says dada, mama, wa dat, and baba and all the other things that we cant fully understand.. She makes this cute little smackin noise..not when she is eatin but just playin with her tongue and its the cutest thing ever.. If you know me i absolutely CANNOT stand any noise with the mouth..biggest pet peave EVER! Just ask my family how rediculous it is..hahah Ill have you know that as I'm typin this she found some money in our jar and she grabbed some and immediatly looked at me and smiled and I'm sure she was thinkin to put in mouth or to not put in mouth..luckily she couldnt think long enough before I took it away from her..haha BUSTED! She loves to smash her fingers in drawers and doors so thats always fun.We love our little presh and cant believe she will be 1 in 2 months....ahhhhhhhhh

September:)

 I love this time of year! Although I always hate to say goodbye to Summer but I LOVE fall!! It has definetly been a busy month.. We got home from a 10 day trip to Seattle the first week of September..were home for 5 days and headed out to Arizona and New Mexico to meet my new nephew.. It was so fun to finally get to see and hold baby Maddux and get to be with Ryan and Bri again..I hadnt see them since March and now I won't get to see them until Christmas which I know is right around the corner but I hate sayin goodbye to 2 of my favorite people.. Bri took me to my first real class of Zumba and I loved it so so much.. I am a dancin freak and this was right up my alley! We also spent a few days in St Johns where my grandma and grandpa live and some of my Aunts and Uncles so its also good to see them.. Here are just a few pics of our trip:)

haha one mornin Pais woke up and she looked like a mermaid cause both legs were stuck on 1 leg of her pajamas...it was so funny to see her try and crawl!

I told my mom it was time for a change...BEFORE

AFTER..doesnt it look so cute!

 

 

Im not quite sure if Maddux was enjoyin this or not..haha

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

what? who me??

Jake had a birthday on Sept 16.. I was still in New Mexico so I couldnt be here for it but it killed me.. So last night we had a joined party for Jake and Grandpa Dyreng..I was thinkin it would be so fun to have a boy born in Sept cause Gpa Dyreng is..Allen (Jakes dad) is, Jake is and then if i could plan to have a boy then he would..4 generations of Sept birthdays..Cool huh

I'm so grateful for Jake and the awesomeness that he has:) He was made for me and knows just exactly what to say to me when I am frustrated or depressed. He works so hard for our little family and I'm so grateful for that.. He is the best daddy in the world and is so dang cute and funny with our little P... Love you babe!

More Enchanments:)

Jake missionary buddy that I talked about in my post before this one.. Wish we didn't live so far..maybe its a good thing though cause I would probably hardly see him cause he would be with stephen all the time..

The water is so clear!!

Gosh Jake dont look so happy..lol

Home Sweet Home:)

Washington*

Paisley's First plane ride...here we go..............

My beautifulest cousin Arianne and her precious Noah

We had a play date with all my cousins that live in Washington and it was so fun to see everyone. Mostly all my cousins kids I had never met before. Pais and Ivy (i think is Ivy) play with fancy:)

Pais and Elinore just helpin with the dishes!

We had gone to an Enumclaw football game to watch my cousins daughter Maria cheer and I didnt get a pic there but i had just bought this coat for Pais at a thriftstore and i was in love with it.. Doesnt it look so cute on her? Mind you its a 3-6 month coat and pais is pushin 10 months... she is itty bitty. It fit her perfect though!

Nicole absolutely SPOILED me while I was there. We had a date night the night before I left and we went to Dukes which sits partly over the water. So so fun and so beautiful... Thanks Nicole... I love date nights with you!

This was our view from our table..

I was so in love with this sign. Annie and Emma made these for us when we arrived. It says "welcome jake nataly & of course little paisley luv annie' and then emmas is that sweet drawing to the right..Love you preciouses

The artist themselves... Sorry its side ways!

I hate GOODBYES!

Look how clear the water is!!

The clan- Greg, Evan (Sarah dont you love his pose?), Uncle Devon, Mason, Davy, Paul (yes thats my cousin and his name is Paul Blad also), Jakey boy, my dad Paul, and Josh.

 

 

 

 

 

WOW that was the funnest trip ever! My dad and Jake have had this trip planned for awhile but it wasn't until I got the phone call from Nicole askin if I could split the plane ticket with her.. How could I turn down such an offer.. especially cause I have been wantin to go up there FOREVER! We arrived there on Fri aug 26 and came home Sun Sept 4... That was the longest vacation that Jake and I had both been on.. and Pais for that matter.. man she sure has experience alot in her little life.. Did I mention were goin to New Mexico this Sat? haha we dont know how to stay home:) Anyways Pais and I had such a blast with Nicole and her kids. We were able to go out some of the days and she took me to alot of these cute shops and at night she had me experience a different kind of food.. and I loved all of it... Who would have thought boring little bland girl would like different ethnic foods..lol It was so fun just bein able to hang out most the day at her house and gettin to know her kids better. Of course me and Nicole had to get all of our talks in.. I love talkin to her! She also has that best things to say and you always walk away feelin like a million bucks cause she compliments you to no end.. Some of the nights when the kids were in bed we would go lay in her bed and have dessert and watch and rewind Ashley and Jp of the bachelorette.. ahhhhhhhhhh that was so fun and boy were we in love with them.. haha we would watch their every move and just drewl (i'm having a brain fart) over them! Man am I goin to miss those nights.. haha  Anyways it was a blast as I have said 37 times but Nicole thank you so so much! We miss you guys already... were coutin down the days ( years-months) until we get to do that again.. love you mucho mucho!!

As for Jake and my dad.. They got the opportunity of a lifetime to hike 25 miles and experience "the enchantments".. doesn't that just sound like an opportunity. You have to draw out for this and only 8 people can go in at a time. There are goats up there so you have to either pee on a rock or burry it so the goats dont tear up the lawn... Jake said the pictures don't do justice but will take em right? What a beautiful place. They got to fish alot and did you notice how clear the lakes are? I want to do the hike just so I can see the lakes . I'm so glad Jake got to know my Uncle and my cousins better cause they are some of my favorite people. We were in the same state but for 5 days I wasn't able to talk to him at all cause they didn't have service up there, but that makes the mountains more enjoyable when you don't have phones interupting right?  So grateful for the opportunity they got and for us getting to go.. We will talk about this trip forever.  Love you all and it was so good to see everyone.!!

*9 months*

I cant believe how big my sweet Paisley is!  Seriously the last 2 weeks she has grown and changed so so much it just amazes me! For awhile she was being really needy and wouldnt sleep good and so I took her in to get her ears checked to make sure she didn't have an ear infection and sure enough she does and since she has been on medicine she is a completely different girl.. I feel bad for waitin as long as I did to get her checked. The doc mentioned to me that she is really tall for her age and that she looks like she could be 1 years old already.. Not for another 3 months though. He asked us if we have tall genes in our families which we dont so we don't know whats goin on with her.. maybe she got switched at birth. She has been such a joy we don't know what we would do without her!

* Pais's doings*
-plays pat a cake and does sooooooo big
-waves bye bye and hi
-sleeps through the night
-still can fit into some of her newborn shoes..she has the smallest feet.
-got bubbles on the bottom just waitin any day for those teeth to pop through..I said that last month but this time I really mean it haha
-getting to be the fastest crawler and has a really cute crawl.
-is a really good eater
-her hair gets thicker and curlier every day
-is such a happy girl and some people say she is the most active baby they have ever seen!
-loves her daddy so much and as I'm typin Jake came in the door and he walked in to wash his hands and she bawled and bawled until he came..Life is so miserable with me..haha.

Baby Maddux*

This little guy joined our family yesterday. My brother Ryan and his amazing wife Bri welcomed Baby maddux. He weighs 8lbs 3 oz and is 20 in long.. This is one of the few babies that I know were born on their actual due date. I was antzy all day yesterday from the moment I got the text from Ryan that they were on their way to the hospital. I couldnt and cant help but cry everytime I think about it or Ryan sends me a new pic of him how badly I wish I could be in New Mexico right now to hold this sweet baby Maddux...So proud of Ryan and Bri..I know the will be the best parents ever.. love you guys so much and cant to hold him!!

Lake Powell*

pais absolutely LOVED the water!!

pais and her nana..dont you love how they match?

we could handle her alot better in this tub

are you jealous of my hair? haha love those boat rides..

love that mckell

notice my sister in her nice pointed toes jump..who ever looks that pretty when they jump?

The life jacket literally swallowed her!

YMCA---well in a dyslexix kind of way:)

Once again Lake Powell was a blast this year!! I said i wasnt goin this year cause of pais but 2 hours before my mother in law left i decided to just go....and im so glad i did..there were only 18 people on the boat this year as opposed to like 40 that there usually is...I got to take my sister camille with me to help take care of pais and she was alot of help...
-We went to the crack this year and we were even able to get down this year cause it was so steep so we had to walk back but we still got to jump off some cliffs..so that was fun.
-one morning pais was sitting on my lap and all of a sudden she slaps her hand on my leg and i had a hand print on my leg..well i was like where the heck did pais get mud?? wait a minute..mud at lake powell..i dont think so..yep most definetly poo and it was everywhere!! everyone just busted up!!
-PAISLEY IS NOW A LOVER OF WATER...she would kick her legs so hard and flap her wings when i would put her in there..lol
CANT WAIT TIL NEXT TIME!!
